MOVIE NIGHT: “THE NATIVITY STORY” PG — This Wednesday, December 23, at 7pm — If you haven’t seen “The Nativity Story,” you’re in for a treat! This Christmas movie is a delight, with wonderful performances for Mary and Joseph and a fittingly dastardly Herod.

We’ll watch the movie together through Zoom with a brief intermission halfway through for popcorn! tinyurl.com/sjgi-zoom
